(Doc) Hartnoll, FRHS The month of May to the home gardener is like the start of the gardener's New Year - everything is coming alive 'and looking well. Most plants have taken the winter in stride; however, you've helped. Mulching after the ground froze was one of the best things you would have done to prevent heaving during freezing and thawing. But that's served the purpose and now you want to remove the protective winter , mulch. If the weather remains unsettled, it's wise to gently remove the covering from around the plants, but not entirely. Then it can be replaced in case of snap frosts. Rose growers visiting nurseries in search of • the 197S All American Rose Selection (AARS) winners might be disappointed. These new introductions are usually presold. However, look or Oregold, a yellow hybrid tea rose; Rose Parade, a coral pink flori- . r I bunda, and Arizona, a pink blend grandiflora, If you can't get them now, place your order early so you can plant in the Fall. Speaking of roses, pruning is necessary. There's no better time than. Spring. Some new growers 1 • of roses feel they should be 1 choped down in the Fall after • blooming. DON'T DO IT. It's that time of year when we're busy fixing up the house and all that goes witkit. It also happens to be the season when a few "bad apples" pop up from nowhere to call themselves home improvement firms. Let's face it - most home improvement companies are reliable and trust- worthy. You can make a distinc- tion between the good and the bad if you take the time to ask yourself these questions before you sign on the dotted line 1. Do you know your sales- man's name and address of the almpany? 2. Before you sign the contract, have you checked on the reputa: tion, dependability and respon- sibility of the firm? 3. Have you asked the company for references and have you found them to be satisfactory? 4. Did the salesman try to "high pressure" you into signing a contract?. 5. Did you get the pitch that your home would be used for advertising purposes and that for this you would be given a special low price? -- Don't fall for it. 6. Have you obtained more than one bid on the same job on exactly. the same specifications? 7. Does the firm provide liability and compensation insut.:Ance to protect you in the event of an accident? 8. Will the firm be able to fulfill that 10 or 15 year guarantee? Will they still be in business? 9. Do you knoiv how much the entire job will cost including the interest and service charges? 10. Have you checked all possible sources of financing and compared them? 11. If the work is sublet, will the contractors post a bond to protect you against liens on your home? 12. Are the quality, brand or grade and the weight, colour and size of materials to be used specified in the contract? 13. Have you read and do 'you Properly pruned roses will pro- dUce attractive flowers-and strong cane growth for several years. Although individual varieties differ, most are pruned in Spring before bushes leaf out. Some climbing and rambling types are best pruned in September, though: The first step is cutting out weak and dead canes, leaving three to five stems. The popular hybrid tea roses can be pruned back to within six inches of the ground with three or more buds remaining on each stem. Flori- bundas are pruned similarly but not as severely. Vigorous grow,- ing glandiflora roses can be pruned back to about one foot from the ground. For larger bushes with more blooms, the stems should be left longer. For exhibition blooms the stems should be cut back severely leaving one or two short canes. Even though these are peren- nial plants, they require fertiliz- ing and I've found that regular applications of rose food during the growing season give the plants just the proper amount of understand the contract com- pletely - don't sign it until you do. Retain a complete copy. 14. Does the contract cover labour or materials or both? 15. Are you asked to pay in advance or to pay cash to a salesman instead of by cheque or money order to the company itself? 16. Does the contract stipulate the date on which work is to begin and a specified date for comple- tion? Never sign a completion certifi- cate until all the work called for in the contract fras been completed. It is a declaration on your part that as far as you are concerned, the work as outlined • in the contract has been fulfilled and that you are satisfied with it. If everything is not to your satisfac- tion - don't sign a - completion certificate. roses nutrients it needs. Spray for Scales If you did not have time to apply a dormant spray in late winter, then it would be wise to spray your trees and shrubs to control insects. This includes lilacs as well. - First, check all plants for the various types of scale. The oystershell scale, a mass of small oyster-like shells on the bark of a plant, often attacks certain flowering shrubs, particu- larly lilac. The reddish-brown lecanium scales are 'Usually found on the undersides, of twigs on trees and shrubs such as stone fruits, Spy apple, oak, ash, taxus and white cedar. Nearly all woody trees and shrubs are susceptible to the San Jose scale. This ash-brown to black insect is flat and circular, about the size of a pinhead. . Use 50 per cent Malathion emulsion as the manufacturer recommends. This should be applied now and perhaps again June 1-15 to control oystershell and San Jose scale. For lecaniuni crawlers thorough spraying July 10-20 should control these scales.
